AICP Objectives

The AICP was established to implement the teachings of Islam as per the guidance of the Qur’an. The belief and practice of the AICP worldwide is that of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama^ah, those who adhere to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu ^alayhi wa sallam. The most important objective of the AICP is to spread the correct knowledge of the Religion—teaching Muslims and non-Muslims about Islam—by spreading the Islamic Obligatory Knowledge and supporting it with clear evidence. The Messenger of Allah, sallAllahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: which means: "The best of the deeds is the belief in Allah and His Messenger." (al-Bukhariyy) In accordance with this, the AICP emphasizes teaching Tawhid, the Islamic knowledge by which one would know what is and what is not proper to attribute to Allah and His Messenger.

Biography of Shaykh Abdullah Al-Harariyy:

He is the great ^alim (Islamic scholar), an example of the ^ulama' (Islamic scholars), Al-'Imam, Al-Muhaddith, the pious worshipper, Ash-Shaykh Abu ^Abdir-Rahman, ^Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Ibn Yusuf, Al-Harariyy, Ash-Shaybiyy, Al-^Abdariyy, the Mufti of As-Sumal (Somalia). He is Al-Harariyy because he is from the city of Harar. In 1887, As-Sumal was occupied and divided into five parts and the western province (Harar) was given to Al-Habashah (Ethiopia). He is ash-Shaybiyy because Banu Shaybah is a clan of Quraysh and they are the people in charge of Al-Ka^bah. He is Al-^Abdariyy because he also belongs to ^Abdud-Dar, a clan of Qusayy Ibn Kilab, the fourth grandfather of Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu ^alayhi wa sallam.

Identity - Membership - Finance

AICP Identity The AICP, part of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama^ah, adheres to the creed of the Ash^ariyys and the school of Imam ash-Shafi^iyy. The AICP is the "Resounding Voice of Moderation." This is the platform upon which we stand firm. The AICP speaks and writes against those extremist groups who sponsor violence, terrorism, and the call for assassinations of government officials because they rule by secular law. These are foreign ideas contrary to the true teachings of Islam. Islam is the Religion of Moderation, and "Moderation" is the motto of the AICP Membership The members of the AICP are quite diverse. They vary in national origin, ethnicity, education, social status, economic status, age, and gender. Our organization attracts people from virtually every walk of life. AICP members range from the highly educated—with various degrees and doctorates—to the lay people. Our members include executives, middle management, white and blue collar workers, doctors, dentists, educators, students, shopkeepers, artisans, and farmers.

What is the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects

Written by AICP Staff. Posted in About AICP - English

We started this path relying on our values of moderation, openness, wisdom and cooperation. Our goal is to teach, guide towards good and benefit our societies. Our motto is honesty in transmitting the Islamic knowledge.

ImageAll this made the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects rise to the level of worldwide associations and be known throughout the world, so much so that it is playing an important role in spreading values of justice and knowledge among the different fractions of societies.

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. To Him belong the endowments and proper commendations. May Allah raise the rank of our prophet Muhammad and protect his nation from what he fears for it.

Hence, the Islamic institutions throughout the world rapidly trusted the A.I.C.P and established connections with it, a thing that consolidated the ties that the associations had with thousands of people worldwide.

The A.I.C.P has as guides the Qur’an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad and the path of the Islamic scholars like Imam Ash-Shafi^iyy, Imam Malik, Imam Ahmad and Imam Abu-Hanifah. Unlike the followers of Sayyid Qutub who deviated from the right path by following an erroneous idea that sprung fifty years ago, and unlike the followers of Muhammad ibn ^adbil-Wahhab who deviated from the right path by following an erroneous idea that sprung two hundred years ago, unlike them we are following the right path of the prophet, his companions and their followers. We hold and defend the creed of millions of Muslims throughout the world. As for matters of creed, we are Ash^ariyys, that is we follow the school of imam Abu-Al-Hasan al-Ash^ariyy, who is a Sunniyy scholar, and who compiled the creed of the companions and followers. As for issues of purification, prayers, fasting and the like, we are Shafi^iyy, while knowing that all Sunniyy schools of jurisdiction are on the right path and that the minor differences among them concerning some details is mercy for the nation.

The A.I.C.P goes counter any form of extremism that allows the killing of innocents, and it is clear of any connections to any form of deviations or extremism that considers the mere fact of visiting the tomb of Prophet Muhammad or celebrating his birth as a type of heresy. Rather, the association warns against extremism and labors to prevent its spreading. The association considers the deviated and extremist practices of certain groups in the name of religion as a form of treason to the people and a cause for fracture among the unity of the nation.

As for teaching that whoever insults God or the Prophet is a blasphemer, or warning against any other type of blasphemy that makes the person who utters it go out of Islam, this is known among Muslims worldwide, and has been stated by scholars like Al-Qadi ^iyad, who is Malikiyy, An-Nawawiyy who is Shafi^iyy and by numerous others. And we are following them proudly and openly.
